Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 106: Chou Tzu-yu and Mina, a Battlefield-like Choice?

At first, Liu Baiyuan didn't think anything of it when he saw Chou Tzu-yu running towards him.

It wasn't until he saw the other person's outstretched arms that he realized things weren't going as he had expected.

He initially thought Zhou Ziyu was just coming over to say hello, but who knew this little girl seemed determined to ruin him...

In fact, Chou Tzu-yu's actions not only stunned Liu Baiyuan.

The rest of TWICE, especially Lim Na-yeon and Hirai Momo who noticed Liu Baiyuan's arrival immediately, were also startled by Zhou Ziyu's actions.

At that moment, the waiting room fell silent, with only the sound of Zhou Ziyu's shoes hitting the ground as she ran towards him.

Even the makeup artists fell silent, their mouths slightly agape, clearly looking frightened.

boom!

As Chou Tzu-yu threw herself into Liu Bai-yuan's arms, their bodies collided with a loud thud.

"Ouch..."

Liu Baiyuan subconsciously reached out and put his arms around Zhou Ziyu's slender waist to prevent her from falling.

As Zhou Ziyu felt the large hand suddenly climb up her waist, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, and a hint of joy rose in her heart.

"Ding! Chou Tzu-yu's favorability +1!"

Progress bar: 6%!

Ok?

What do you mean?

Liu Baiyuan was stunned for a moment. All he had done was touch this "black-hearted" chocolate in front of him.

How did this increase my favorability by just a little bit?

Just as Liu Baiyuan was completely baffled, Hirai Momo was the first to react. Looking at Liu Baiyuan's hands wrapped around Zhou Ziyu's waist, she suddenly felt a little hot on the top of her head.

It was as if someone had put a label on her.

"Hey! Oppa, where are your hands going?!"

Hirai Momo immediately exclaimed, "Yes, she wasn't angry because Chou Tzu-yu hugged Liu Bai-yuan, but because Liu Bai-yuan's hands were inappropriate."

It must be said that "Peach's" thinking is indeed different from people's.

Hirai Momo: ? ? ? Did you just insult me?

Upon hearing Hirai Momo's words, Liu Baiyuan blinked and then seemed to realize something. He quickly removed his hand from Zhou Ziyu's waist and tried to make amends.

"Cough cough... I was just worried she might fall... Is she alright?"

After Zhou Ziyu felt the large hands disappear, she immediately got up from Liu Baiyuan's embrace, but her hand was still still linked with his arm.

"It's fine."

Tzuyu smiled quietly. Her smile wasn't as unrestrained as Nayeon's, who would grin and laugh like an idiot. Instead, her smile was more like Mina's, more reserved and subtle.

With her eyes crinkled in a smile, she looked at the man beside her, her slightly parted lips giving her a charmingly innocent and endearing air.

Looking at Chou Tzu-yu's appearance, his heart skipped a beat: "That face is just unfair..."

'

Just as Liu Baiyuan was thinking this, Lin Nayeon chuckled and ran over.

"Baek Won Oppa! You're finally here!"

"Yes, something came up this morning and I was delayed."

He gave Lim Nayeon a slight smile, but when he saw her "worthless" expression, he subconsciously compared her to Chou Tzuyu beside him.

Um..

Tzuyu's smile definitely looks better than those bunny teeth...

Lim Nayeon: Momo! I can vouch for you, he was swearing!

Liu Baiyuan: 666, there's also an interactive segment.

Wearing a leather jacket, Minatozaki Sana felt a pang of jealousy as she watched Zhou Ziyu clinging to Liu Baiyuan's arm. That was her Ziyu, what was she doing hugging that jerk?

Thinking this, she ran over to Zhou Ziyu's side, grabbed Zhou Ziyu's hand and pulled it away from Liu Baiyuan, separating the two.

"Ziyu, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Why do you keep pulling him along? What if rumors start circulating? You'll be in big trouble."

???

When Liu Baiyuan heard what Minatozaki Sana said, he felt a little strange for no reason. It was understandable that he was worried about some kind of scandal, but what did she mean by saying that if he were to have a scandal with her, he would be unjustly killed?

Is he something to be ashamed of?

However, before he could retort, Chou Tzu-yu spoke up first, saying, "It's okay, Oppa isn't an outsider. Besides, Oppa stood up for us yesterday. How can you treat him like this?"

After saying that, she broke free from Minatozaki Sana's hand, turned around and went to Liu Baiyuan's side, gently took his arm, and leaned against him affectionately.

Having witnessed all of this, Liu Baiyuan was completely baffled. What exactly was this "black-hearted" chocolate trying to do?

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Liu Baiyuan asked her in Mandarin, "This will not only make her feel more comfortable, but also eliminate the risk of being overheard."

Although TWICE has been together for almost a year, they still chat in Korean. Because of Misamo and the other two, they know a little bit of Japanese.

However, they said they really couldn't learn Chou Tzu-yu's Mandarin.

Therefore, at this time, Chinese became an encrypted language that only Liu Baiyuan and Zhou Ziyu could understand.

"Nothing much, I was just expressing my gratitude as you suggested, Brother Bai Yuan."

Ok?

Upon hearing Zhou Ziyu's words, Liu Baiyuan's face immediately showed a hint of confusion. What did he say?

Perhaps Liu Baiyuan's puzzled expression was too obvious, because Zhou Ziyu seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled at him, saying, "Didn't you say that yesterday Mina hugged you to thank you for your help? In other words, if I thank you, can't I hug you too?"

Mingnan:? ? ?

Zhou Ziyu voiced her true thoughts, and since Liu Baiyuan himself had said it, he couldn't deny it.

As she spoke, Chou Tzu-yu even raised her head in a provocative manner towards Liu Bai-yuan.

Looking at her like this, Liu Baiyuan was speechless for a moment; he really couldn't refute what she said.

"Alright, you're so good at talking. You know I didn't mean it that way."

Hehe~

Chou Tzu-yu tactfully released her grip; she was already quite satisfied. Originally, she hadn't intended to be like this with Liu Bai-yuan, but Mina from last night had really given her a jolt.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted this way.

After seeing that Chou Tzu-yu and Liu Bai-yuan kept a distance from each other, Hirai Momo's expression gradually relaxed. She stepped forward to take Chou Tzu-yu's place and stood next to Liu Bai-yuan.

Meanwhile, the members of TWICE all focused their attention on Chou Tzu-yu. This youngest member... seemed to have a strange affinity for Liu Bai-yuan...

It wasn't like this yesterday.

"Oppa".

Hirai Momo called out to Liu Baiyuan with a hint of jealousy, "How could this brother be like this? He's being all lovey-dovey with another girl right in front of me."

Hearing Hirai Momo call out, the latter immediately turned to look at Hirai Momo's chubby face. Seeing Momo's jealous expression, she was about to say something when she noticed her little sister's clothes...

"Um... Peach, this outfit of yours..."

'

It's no wonder Liu Baiyuan noticed it at first glance; the outfit was simply too ugly.

The dress is green all the time, but it also has a cinched waist design, which makes Hirai Momo look fat.

The most amazing thing is the shoes.

The beige flat shoes made Hirai Momo look like a little dwarf.

When Liu Baiyuan brought this up, a hint of helplessness flashed across Hirai Momo's face as she said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm playing an elf in the music video, so I can only wear this kind of outfit..."

"You're an elf? Then..."

'

Upon hearing Hirai Momo's words, Liu Baiyuan finally understood what was going on with all these strange-looking people in the room.

"Sana, what are you trying to portray with this outfit?"

Liu Baiyuan also noticed the other person's clothes, but her outfit was much better looking than Hirai Momo's.

"Superhero, how about it? Not bad, right?"

Sana Minatozaki smugly showed off her "battle suit" and even waved her little cape, clearly immersed in her own "hero" world.

"Um... whatever makes you happy."

Liu Baiyuan didn't know what to say. How come he hadn't realized before that this little dog was so immature?

Pulled by Hirai Momo, Liu Baiyuan sat on the sofa in TWICE's waiting room. The other members were already quite used to Liu Baiyuan's arrival.

Sometimes they would even join him in teasing the other members, clearly showing that they had accepted Liu Baiyuan.

However, he didn't stay there for long because TWICE needed to change clothes. Today's shoot was their individual parts, which, as Hirai Momo just mentioned, are the roles they play in the music video.

After waiting outside for more than half an hour, all nine members of TWICE came out, with the eldest member, Lim Nayeon, leading the way.

She was wearing a red bodycon dress and a pair of small red horns on her head; clearly, she was dressed as a little devil.

Yoo Jeong-yeon was dressed in children's clothing, and it's easy to tell from her attire that she was playing a wooden figure like Pinocchio.

Hirai Momo goes without saying; she's a "green" elf, and even Liu Baiyuan, with his own little Momo as his filter, finds her hard to look at.

"Sana Minatozaki is the female version of Batman," though it could be something else entirely, but Liu Baiyuan didn't see it that way.

Leader Park Jihyo was dressed the most glamorously, her snow-white long dress making her look exceptionally wealthy and giving her an "ice princess" feel.

As for Mina... Liu Baiyuan looked at her, his eyes filled with undisguised doubt.

"Holy crap, Caribbean Little South!" Who threw his little penguin out to sea? Isn't this just pure pirate stuff?!

Compared to Mina, Kim Da-hyun and Son Chae-young seemed rather ordinary; one wore a bunny costume, and the other wore a mermaid costume.

Although it looks nice, it still lacks originality overall.

The last one to appear, or rather, the last one to walk out of the waiting room, was of course maknae Tzuyu.

To be honest, Liu Baiyuan was indeed amazed by Zhou Ziyu when she came out of the waiting room.

She no longer had the innocent look she had just had. Her light smoky makeup, paired with her long black dress, gave her a sense of nobility no less than that of Park Ji-hyo.

With her purple hair, a black openwork dress, and black high heels, Chou Tzu-yu perfectly showcased her height advantage and slender figure.

Filming also required multiple takes, and because this music video uses a fantasy theme, a lot of special effects were needed, so their backgrounds were all green screens.

The first person to be filmed was Yoo Jeong-yeon, whose set had been set up in advance. She was the only one using the set, so it was better to finish filming early so that it could be dismantled sooner.

The others either put on makeup or slacked off, but some went to cause trouble for Yu Dingyan.

Only the more reserved Chou Tzu-yu and Mina came to Liu Bai-yuan's side and sat quietly.

"You look really good in this outfit."

Liu Baiyuan praised Zhou Ziyu, who had come to his side, without reservation. He was telling the truth; the outfit gave her a completely different feel.

"Thank you, brother~"

Chou Tzu-yu felt a surge of secret joy. After thanking him, she lowered her head again and looked at herself.

However, when she saw her long legs exposed by the asymmetrical skirt, she suddenly understood something.

"So Brother Bai Yuan likes this style...?"

This was what she was thinking to herself; if she were to ask it aloud, Liu Baiyuan would probably cry out that he was more wronged than Dou E...

Mina felt a pang of displeasure as she watched the two of them communicating in encrypted Chinese; she felt a sense of being ostracized.

"By the way, Brother Bai Yuan, would you come with me somewhere later?"

"Huh? Today?"

"Hmm...not necessarily!"

Liu Baiyuan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the slight embarrassment that had flashed across his face gradually faded away.

For a moment, he really wanted to refuse, because these past few days, TWICE had been asking him out at night.

First it was Hirai Momo, then Mina, and I almost thought it was Chou Tzu-yu's turn.

If it happens once or twice, it's fine, but if it happens too often, even for him, it's not good.

"Alright, then just call me when it's time to go out."

As long as it's not today, Liu Baiyuan doesn't care much. Firstly, it's too frequent, and secondly, he also wants to get some rest.

"Okay~"

Chou Tzu-yu obediently agreed, but Mina, standing to the side, was a little unhappy: "Hey~ Aren't you two going too far? Why are you always speaking in Chinese~"

Mina called out in a coquettish manner, looking quite adorable.

Seeing Mina's expression, Liu Baiyuan smiled helplessly and explained to her, "No, it's just that we're both Chinese, so it's easy for us to speak in our native language when we meet."

Minami glanced sideways, her expression a mixture of belief and disbelief.

"So what were you two just saying?"

When Liu Baiyuan saw that Mina had asked, he wasn't going to hide anything and was about to tell her directly, but Zhou Ziyu preemptively said, "Ahn! You can't say it!"

"Huh? Why can't I say?"

When Mina saw that Tzuyu had stopped Liu Baiyuan, she felt a strange sense of crisis. She glanced at Liu Baiyuan, as if she wanted him to speak.

However, at the same time, Zhou Ziyu's gaze also arrived late, clearly indicating that she did not want Liu Baiyuan to tell Mina that this was a little secret between the two of them!

Their gazes simultaneously focused on Liu Baiyuan, and for a moment, Liu Baiyuan was once again caught in a difficult choice...
